A child of your own. A dream fulfilled.
Fertility problems can be devastating for any couple wishing to start a family. For many
couples, in vitro fertilization offers the best chance of turning their hopes and dreams into a
child of their very own. The first successful in vitro procedure was performed in 1977, and
thousands of healthy, happy children have been born each year since. Many of those children were born right here in Mississippi, thanks to the knowledge and expertise of Mississippi
Fertility Institute.
What is in vitro fertilization?
In vitro fertilization is a laboratory process that allows a couple to have a child of their own
through normal pregnancy and childbirth. The process mimics natural reproduction by combining eggs, or oocytes, from the woman with sperm cells from the man to create embryos
in a laboratory setting. A small number of embryos are then transferred back to the woman’s
uterus to begin a normal pregnancy. The primary advantage of in vitro fertilization lies in the
capacity to retrieve and fertilize multiple oocytes, vastly improving the chances of a successful
pregnancy. Embryos that are not chosen for transfer can be frozen, or cryopreserved, to be
inserted into the uterus at a later date.
Advanced techniques, physician expertise.
Since its inception, Mississippi Fertility Institute has been on the leading edge of fertility and
reproductive medicine. Our knowledge of the latest in vitro techniques and advancements
allow us to constantly improve our service to hopeful couples. And our state-of-the-art facility
and laboratory equipment allows us to produce the best embryos possible. We also offer
advanced techniques such as Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) to test embryos genetically prior to transfer, Blastocyst Transfer which has allowed us to decrease multiple pregnancies while maintaining outstanding pregnancy rates and Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection
(ICSI) to treat even the most difficult male factor infertility cases.
Ask for information about our IVF Shared Risk Refund Plan.
Although in vitro fertilization has an excellent success rate, the procedure may not result in a
pregnancy the very first time. The cumulative chances for pregnancy increase with a second
and third IVF cycle. But multiple cycles can be expensive. That’s why Mississippi Fertility Institute developed the IVF Shared Risk Refund Plan, in which those eligible may be reimbursed for
up to 100% of their costs if a pregnancy does not result within four cycles of the procedure.
Not everybody is a candidate for the IVF Shared Risk Refund Plan. So please contact us if
you would like more information.
